disagree  BusterK: the employee isn't entitled a share of the profit. He is merely entitled to a bonus depending on his meeting some objectives (maybe group ones, such as financial performance, maybe personal ones).

I think it may depend on whether you want UK or US usage. I think this is more common in the UK.
